15x15 Vacation Capsule

As some of you might know, I made it to my hometown earlier this month after what turned out to be a nearly four-month gap between visits. I came to handle some non-creative tasks that needed doing in person and wasn't originally supposed to stay longer than a few days. With this in mind, I packed light.

As it turns out, I've had to extend my visit owing to a couple of unforeseen circumstances including my dog Frida going on heat for the first time. Returning back made little sense, so I decided to stay back through the holiday season and new year and treat it as a vacation.

Since I originally packed light and most of my winter items are back in the city, I decided to do a special vacation capsule for my improvised vacation! Instead of the usual 33 items including wildcards, I decided to limit myself to just 15 picks instead.

Some of these picks are from my winter capsule that I did pack, but I've also made a few fresh picks to adapt while here—a grey cardigan from Esprit, a plain round neck tee from March Tee, a light blue scarf, and my purple kurta from Nicobar.

Here’s the list of 15 items that made it into the vacation capsule and the initial looks so far:

1. Grey sweatshirt from Reebok Classics

2. Olive cargos from Uniqlo

3. Olive draw-string shorts from Muji

4. Plain tee in olive from MarchTee

5. Navy trousers from Uniqlo

6. Navy puffy jacket from H&M

7. Grey cardigan from Esprit

8. Striped tee in green from Esprit

9. Striped tee from Muji

10. Light blue scarf

11. Purple kurta from Nicobar

12. Striped tee from MarchTee

13. Red beanie from Muji

14. Green cap from Fred Perry

15. Black sneakers from Adidas
